Searching for Jane TILLEY: last seen in Leicester in 1881

[Newfloridian]

Any help in locating the further hsitory of Jane would be appreciated.
She was born in Northampton in 1864, the daughter of William TILLEY and Elizabeth GOODMAN (although several A***y user trees have her credited to William's second wife Elizabeth HARDING)

 She was a fourth cousin of my great aunt, Beatrice Edith TILLEY but the most fascinating aspect is the entry for her in the 1881 England census. She was working as a domestic servant at Turret House. This building still stands, now called Estonian House, at 366 Fosse Road North, Leicester which is just a few doors away from my own family's home for nearly 40 years.

I have not found any trace of Jane in records after 1881.

Hi,

There is a marriage of a Jane Tilley -
q3 1883, Kettering
Vol 3b Page 327

On the same page is an Edmund Wright.

On the 1871 census the Tilley family are living in Kettering. Perhaps Jane went back to that area to be married.

This would appear to be Jane and Edmund on the 1891 -

Edmund Wright   30
Jane Wright   27 b. Northamptonshire
Harry F Wright   7
Christopher E Wright   4

RG12 Piece 1217 Folio 76 Page 32

The marriage cert would help to clarify if it's the Jane Tilley you are researching.

Many thanks JJen

I think a certificate will give absolute proof.
